DC 311 Methods & Rates.
What are people complaining about?
Top 311 categories, citywide or by ward. Inspired by CityCast's neighborhood 311 breakdown — because it is always trash-and-parking season in D.C., the default view hides those ever-present categories (plus information requests) so the local outliers actually surface.
What's unusually high right now — by ward
The method behind CityCast's piece, run over every category: for the latest complete month, how far each complaint is above that ward's own normal for the same month in prior years. Trash / parking / info excluded. Pick a ward, or see the citywide leaderboard.
